Lawyer For Intellectual Property Crime Cases

Property crimes include criminal mischief and vandalism, burglary, dealing in stolen property, scheme to defraud, trespass, arson, grand theft, employee theft, petit theft, larceny, shoplifting, burglary of a vehicle, burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and burglary of an occupied dwelling. A property crime is technically defined as a criminal act that occurs when a person takes another’s property without consent. This deprivation of property can be either temporary or permanent.

Penalties for property crimes can range from a trespass which is a second degree misdemeanor all the way up to life in prison for an armed burglary of an occupied dwelling. A burglary has not occurred if an individual has simply entered onto or into someone’s home, car or structure. The State must prove that the potential offender did so with the intent to commit a crime therein. An example of this is entering one’s home with the intent to take property.
